S.F. immigration judge ordered a woman into court. Then ICE took her.

"Good morning, ma'am," he said. "You're supposed to be sitting in a courtroom right now." "Good morning, your honor," the woman replied, in Spanish through a court interpreter. "Yes, your honor, that's right." "I know that's right," O'Brien said. "I'm going to reschedule your hearing for later this morning. I'm going to give you a chance to show up." To avoid arrest, some asylum seekers are submitting written requests to the court to appear remotely.
